Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 276 Too Arrogant

Chapter 276 Too Arrogant

Chen Lie simply said, "I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry."

Luo Zhixun then comforted them, saying, "Most of the top ten on the Blue Star Blood Qi Extreme Ranking are students of Starry Sky University, and they are rarely on Blue Star."

Moreover, those who pass the candidate assessment for the governor of Blue Star are unlikely to be so petty as to sabotage them afterward.

As soon as Luo Zhixun spoke, several acquaintances nearby came over to comfort her.

Tang Jiu'er shook her head and said, "Offending such a martial arts genius who is ranked in the top ten of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Stage Ranking has indeed had some serious consequences."

You have no idea how much the Blue Star government favors such top martial arts geniuses. Even if such a person has a conflict with the governor of a province, the government will still favor him to the greatest extent possible.

However, people like us from a small place are probably not good enough to catch the eye of the top geniuses on Earth. They might just forget about us as soon as they turn their backs.

But if they really are trying to trip up Captain Chen at Blue Star University, then he can only hope for the best.

As she spoke, Tang Jiu'er shrugged.

In fact, in her opinion, a top genius like Huo Jinghong on Blue Star would definitely not take Chen Lie's little matter to heart, since Chen Lie's level was not high enough.

She said this to scare Chen Lie, since this guy had dislocated both of her arms during the Dongchuan Province All-People Martial Arts Competition.

She knew that Chen Lie's current martial arts strength was beyond her reach. She wouldn't dare to provoke Chen Lie openly, but she could secretly stir things up without any problem.

Tang Jiu'er secretly glanced at Chen Lie's reaction, but Chen Lie's expression remained completely unchanged.

She immediately sensed that Chen Lie was quite shrewd and capable of keeping his emotions hidden.

She didn't believe that Chen Lie had offended a top martial arts genius on Blue Star and made such a huge mess that he might not even be able to keep his title as the top martial arts champion in three provinces. She wasn't afraid at all.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shuangshuang became even more nervous.

Ji Lingxuan walked over from the special admissions team of Yunnan Province and said, "I think everyone doesn't need to worry about Chen Lie."

The path of martial arts is never smooth sailing. The fact that Chen Lie can now command respect from the powerful and wealthy on Earth shows that he has a fearless heart. Maintaining a clear mind in the martial arts is no easy feat.

Even if this can be avoided now, you'll inevitably have to face it after you get into Starry Sky University.

Shen Miaowei, who was behind Ji Lingxuan, said, "Actually, there's really no need for everyone to worry."

Given Mr. Chen Lie's potential, he might not be inferior to that candidate from Blue Star in the future.

When Shen Miaowei said this, everyone looked at her in confusion.

She's one of the top ten martial arts geniuses on Earth, how dare she say such a thing?

Shen Miaowei didn't answer, but walked to Feng Shuangshuang's side and whispered, "What I just said is true."

Mr. Chen Lie isn't stupid. Without backing, how could he be so reckless as to challenge a candidate for governor of Blue Star?

"Really?" Feng Shuangshuang was somewhat skeptical.

"Believe me!"

Shen Miaowei nodded heavily.

About an hour later, the starship from Dongchuan Province finally arrived.

Under the arrangement of staff from the Northwest Military Region, the specially recruited students from Dongchuan and Yunchuan provinces boarded the Starship.

Soon, the starship took off, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards Dongchuan Province at an incredible speed.

On the starship, the specially recruited students from Dongchuan Province had different thoughts.

In the back row of the Starship, Lu Qingyun, a member of the Genius Group, said to his friend Mo Sheng with some schadenfreude, "That Chen Lie is a typical example of arrogance that will eventually be punished by heaven."

"Damn it, they're used to being arrogant in Dongchuan, thinking they can still be so cocky outside of Dongchuan. Now they've bitten off more than they can chew. I bet their title of 'Martial Arts Champion of Three Provinces' will be stripped away."

Mo Sheng warned, "Qingyun, you'd better keep your voice down. If someone hears us, we'll both be in trouble."

Lu Qingyun scoffed, "You think I'm afraid of him?"

Despite saying that, Lu Qingyun obediently kept his mouth shut.

He knew very well how much of a gap there was between his current strength and Chen Lie's. He wasn't even at the peak of Qi and Blood, and he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Chen Lie.

After traveling at high altitude for about half an hour, the starship slowly landed outside the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association Square.

More than a thousand specially admitted students from Yunchuan and Dongchuan disembarked from the Starship.

Meanwhile, members of the martial arts associations from Dongchuan and Yunchuan provinces had already arrived to meet them.

Upon seeing the special admissions students from Dongchuan Province, Jiang Xiaodong and all the reception staff from the Dongchuan Genius Group came forward.

"Welcome back, students. After receiving our comrades from the Northwest front, the Martial Arts Association immediately arranged for us to come and meet you. We didn't expect you to be able to complete your military training ahead of schedule."

On behalf of the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association, I congratulate you on completing your military training and gaining your qualification to enter Blue Star University for further training.

After speaking, Jiang Xiaodong walked over to Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, were there any casualties among the special admissions students from Dongchuan Province?"

Chen Lie said, "There are three."

"Three? According to Chairman Xu, we had a good chance of completing the military training mission with zero casualties. How come there are still three casualties?" Jiang Xiaodong asked, puzzled.

Luo Zhixun explained, "The casualties are not the captain's fault, because we encountered an emergency. A seventh-tier alien beast suddenly broke into the military training area."

"We've encountered an unexpected situation?" Jiang Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise. "You students at the Qi and Blood Peak realm, please go to the president's office on the second floor of the Martial Arts Association. President Xu is waiting for you."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaodong said to the special admissions students, "The rest of you can leave now."

Now that military training is over, you will soon be heading to Blue City to report to Blue Star University. If you have any personal matters to attend to, please take care of them as soon as possible.

After Jiang Xiaodong finished speaking, the students admitted through special admissions from Dongchuan Province dispersed.

Meanwhile, in Yunchuan, with the help of the Yunchuan Martial Arts Association, the special recruits from Yunchuan Province boarded Yunchuan's large airship.

Ji Lingxuan glanced at Chen Lie with her beautiful eyes, walked away from Yun Chuan's group, and called out to Chen Lie, who was heading towards the Dongchuan Martial Arts Association.

Chen Lie let the others go in first, then approached Ji Lingxuan and asked, "Ji, is there something you need?"

Ji Lingxuan pursed her lips and said, "It seems that Chen Lie didn't take what happened earlier to heart at all."

"It's nothing, why take it to heart?"

Ji Lingxuan hummed in agreement and said, "In that case, I won't say any more."

Once you get to Blue Star University, if you encounter any trouble, please don't hesitate to ask me for help. I will definitely help you if I can.

"Okay, I understand."

"Okay, goodbye!"

Ji Lingxuan waved to Chen Lie, then rejoined the group of special recruits from Yunchuan Province, boarding the airship with many other special recruits from Yunchuan Province.

Chen Lie turned around and went to the second floor of the Martial Arts Association building, then pushed open the door and entered the president's office.

Inside the office, Luo Zhixun, Wang Dongting, Tang Jiu'er, and Song Yixuan, four people at the peak of Qi and Blood, were talking with Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association.

Xu Tianchuan looked surprised: "It's fortunate that we only suffered three casualties after being attacked by a seventh-tier beast."

"If we hadn't encountered this monster attack, Captain Chen Lie would definitely have been able to lead us to complete this military training mission with zero casualties, because the number of monsters he hunted alone would have been enough to complete the training," Luo Zhixun said.

Xu Tianchuan nodded, just as he saw Chen Lie push open the door to the president's office.

"Chen Lie, you've come at the right time. I have something I'd like to ask you."

"What is it?" Chen Lie asked.

"Here's the thing, just now, the Martial Arts Association received an order from headquarters to strip you of your title as the champion of martial arts in three provinces."

It also requested that the three provinces in central Sichuan issue a public reprimand to you.

When I asked what happened, the people at headquarters only said that you behaved strangely during military training and offended an extraterrestrial VIP. I'd like to ask, what exactly happened?

Several people at the peak of Qi and Blood were shocked. How long had it been? The Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters had already issued an order. Did the Blue Star governor candidate really have such great power?

They can even command the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association?

"It's nothing. If Chairman Xu is interested, he can ask any of the special admissions students. I won't go into details," Chen Lie said.

Seeing Chen Lie's nonchalant attitude, Xu Tianchuan immediately became suspicious.

If it were truly just a minor matter, why would the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters have bothered with it?

If it weren't a trivial matter, why would Chen Lie have acted so nonchalantly?

"Chen Lie, first of all, the Martial Arts Association is very grateful to you for bringing the great honor of winning the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament to Dongchuan Province. However, as you know, the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters and our Dongchuan Province Martial Arts Association are in a superior-subordinate relationship. Now that the headquarters has given an order, the branch has no room to refuse."

"I know, then let's do as the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters instructs. It's just a title, I don't care." Chen Lie waved his hand.

"It's good that you understand. Although Dongchuan has always been poor and has limited resources, we will not treat our heroes unfairly."

On behalf of the Dongchuan martial artists, I hereby compensate you with ten resource gold scrolls.

Chen Lie nodded, having no objection whatsoever. He would exchange his title as the top martial arts champion of three provinces for ten resource books, so that he would no longer have to offend anyone for the sake of his future cultivation.

After speaking with Chen Lie and the others, Xu Tianchuan dismissed them.

As Luo Zhixun stepped out of the office, she approached Chen Lie.

She didn't even notice that Chen Lie was acting strangely when the title of the top martial arts champion in three provinces was lost.

"Chen Lie, don't be discouraged. I think that once you get to Blue Star University and are exposed to a better martial arts environment, your martial arts will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and your final achievement may well be among the top experts on Blue Star."

"How come you can tell I'm discouraged?" Chen Lie asked in return.

Luo Zhixun shook her head and said, "No."

"Then let's not talk about this anymore. Is Huo Jinghong really that good at martial arts? Maybe he is on Earth, but in the vast world, he's just starting out."

"Don't think I'm depressed. I really didn't take this little thing seriously," Chen Lie said, waving his hand.

"Okay, that's good!"

Luo Zhixun nodded, relieved to learn that Chen Lie was alright.

Outside the Martial Arts Association building, Feng Shuangshuang stood in front of the door, waiting anxiously.

At this moment, her friend Wu Qianqian walked over and said, "Shuangshuang, everyone else has left, shall we go too?"

"You go first, I'll wait for my cousin," Feng Shuangshuang said.

"Sigh, your cousin probably had it too easy all the way. He has such high talent in martial arts that he became the champion of martial arts in three provinces."

He's probably getting cocky, but that's normal. If I were him, I'd get cocky too.

But as arrogant as he was, he was too impulsive. That was a candidate for the governor of Blue Star. He publicly contradicted him and pointed his finger at him while cursing. Who could stand that?

Now things are really bad; it seems I'm not going to become the top martial arts champion in three provinces.

Wu Qianqian shook her head and sighed.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, he definitely wouldn't have caused this trouble." Feng Shuangshuang bit her lip.

"It's a pity. This isn't ancient times from hundreds of years ago. Close relatives can't marry. Otherwise, someone like you would probably have no choice but to offer yourself in marriage." Wu Qianqian shook her head and sighed.

Lu Qingchan walked over to Feng Shuangshuang, opened her mouth, and said, "You don't need to blame yourself too much, and it's not all your fault. Actually, I also bear a lot of responsibility."

"you?"

Wu Qianqian and Feng Shuangshuang both gave Lu Qingchan a strange look at the same time.

Lu Qingchan said somewhat shyly, "Actually—Chen Lie used to like me, he liked me for almost three years."

I think Chen Lie's impulsiveness was largely due to me!

"what?"

Feng Shuangshuang was taken aback.

Lu Qingchan lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this moment, Chen Lie walked out of the Martial Arts Association building.

Upon seeing Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and Feng Shuangshuang's friend Wu Qianqian, he stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Feng Shuangshuang asked, "Chen Lie, has the Martial Arts Association disciplined you?"

Lu Qingchan also looked at Chen Lie with a question in her eyes.

"Why did the Martial Arts Association punish me?" Chen Lie asked rhetorically.

"No?" Feng Shuangshuang asked again.

"Not only are there no rewards, but there are also bonuses," Chen Lie said.

"Really?"

Chen Lie grunted and said, "I'm going home now, you guys go home too."

After saying that, Chen Lie added, "The Blood Spirit Pearl is a good thing. Wearing it close to your body while practicing martial arts will be very beneficial."

Before Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan could speak, Chen Lie walked out of the square.

After learning that Chen Lie liked Lu Qingchan and that Lu Qingchan was partly responsible for her impulsive actions, Feng Shuangshuang felt much less guilty and didn't chase after him. Seeing that Feng Shuangshuang didn't move, Lu Qingchan also didn't chase after her.

After standing there for a while, they said goodbye to each other and went home.

Chen Lie walked out of the Martial Arts Association square and was about to figure out how to leave when he saw Song Yixuan waving at him from next to an airship.

"Captain Chen, would you like me to give you a ride?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Alright."

Then, he walked over and boarded the airship with Song Yixuan.

At the front of the airship, a middle-aged man was piloting it.

Song Yixuan casually introduced him to Chen Lie: "This is my uncle, you've met him before, he even gave you a gift before."

Chen Lie hummed in response and said, "Hello."

The middle-aged man in front simply nodded without saying a word, and steered the airship into the air, heading towards Chen Lie's home.
